2024 Terra TRD Pro Tacoma Looks So Good

SXTH Element Intercooler Upgrade

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics. Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods. The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference. If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

I had the chance to off road a Terra TRD Pro Tacoma the other weekend, and man, did this color grow on me a lot! I’m not sure if it was the West Virginia leaves changing color or what, but made does this truck look good. Of all the Terra TRD Pro models, I think the Tacoma looks the best. The black accents really allow the Terracotta color to pop.
